Kamitsukenu Haniwano-sato Park

The park contains multiple ancient burial mounds called kofun, including the Hachimanzuka Kofun, surrounded by walking paths and green spaces throughout the grounds.

Dating back 1,500 years to the Kofun Period, this site preserves numerous burial mounds where terracotta figures called haniwa were placed around graves.

The Kamitsukeno-sato Museum of Archaeology displays original coffins, ancient footprints preserved in rice paddies, and the oldest decorative shoe found in Japan.

Visitors can access the park by taking the Takasaki City bus to Akiha mae stop, with adult museum entry costing 200 yen.

From the summit of Hachimanzuka Kofun, guests observe both Mount Haruna and Takasaki city while standing atop an ancient burial structure.
